Dick places his hand over Jason's stomach, feeling the pup kicking in there.
He remembers the omega first collapsing in an alley when he found him, dosed by some heat inducers. Dick still has nightmares thinking about what would've happened if he wasn't the first to arrive.
"Stop doting on us," Jason hisses at him. He is cooking in the kitchen in an apron. It's so weird to think of the big bad Red Hood looking like this, cooking with a baby bump while his mate caresses his stomach.
"Sorry," Dick says. He leans back. "I'm just thinking about what might've happened if..."
Jason sighs, putting down his spatula from where he's been flipping the chicken and veggies in the pan.
“We’ve been through this, Dick,” he says exasperatedly. “I know. And I am happy you were there.”
“I don’t know… ” Dick starts, then swallows. “You were drugged… ”
“I told you already. I wanted to do it. You were the alpha I looked up to ever since I was a pup.”
“And I was the one you looked up to, I know,” Dick says, cutting him a look. “I saw you grow up.”
“Yeah, and so?”
“Well,” Dick stammers. “I mean… for what it’s worth, I care about you. And I can’t help but think you only say that because… because what’s done it’s done. Even if you didn’t want to be mounted by me at the time.” His eyes flicker down toward Jason’s stomach. “You were pregnant, Jason. And I think you’ve decided to stay only because of the baby.”
Jason sighs.
“I love you, Dick,” he says. “And you did what you could to save me.”
Dick stays silent.
Jason takes his head in his hands and pulls him down, until the alpha’s head is between his soft breasts.
“I love you, Dick,” Jason repeats. “And I am grateful. You love me too… don’t you?”
Dick lifts the corners of his mouth and kisses Jason’s breast through the blouse he is wearing, his hand stroking his arm, muscular for an omega.
“Of course, baby,” he says, reaching up to touch Jason’s mating mark. “I’ve chosen you as my mate. I love you, Jason.”
And Jason smiles, his scent tantalizing.
